CAPTAIN’S QUARTERS ON LINEKIN BAY
Check out our Special Page! Sailing, swimming, kayaking, fishing, boating –right from your own dock & float. Captain’s Quarters is for anyone who loves the ocean! Located on the east side of Linekin Bay, just across from Cabbage Island, this comfortable three-story home in East Boothbay is the real deal. This house was featured in the made for PBS television series, Getting Away Together. We have a link to it here on this page or go to http://www.gettingawaytogether.com/destination/booth-bay-harbor

This home was built in the late 1800s as an Inn for the Eastern Steamship company. It features a spectacular wrap-around porch on three sides with beautiful sunset views over Linekin Bay and Cabbage Island. People also love to gather in the kitchen which has an island in the middle and several bar stools for eating or just "gathering together" to cook and talk and enjoy time with each other.

SO MUCH TO SEE, SO MUCH TO DO!
This is the perfect home-base for sailors, boaters, fishermen, photographers, walking and nature enthusiasts. An excellent area for fishing; blue fish, mackerel, stripers and sea bass have all been caught in Linekin Bay. Enjoy day sailing in and around the Boothbay peninsula as part of our famous rocky coast line. Explore Linekin Bay with the two tandem kayaks that are provided by the owners for a couple hours or for entire days! Walk from the house to the Burley Loop. This land was donated to the Boothbay Region Land Trust by the neighbors. It is a lovely and gentle trail. We are so lucky to have the East Boothbay General Store a mile away for morning coffee and great food. We especially enjoy the Blueberry Gorgonzola Pizza they offer. Delicious! Lobstermans' Wharf is a great place to sit and eat out on the deck and watch the boat traffic and the boat builders next door. But the very best thing about Captain’s Quarters is being with friends and family to eat great food, especially lobster, relax, have fun and reconnect. This is summer in Maine at it's finest!

THE DOCK & FLOAT
Extending out into Linekin Bay, the low tide depth of the float is 10’. Two tandem kayaks and a row boat are kept on the dock and are available for your use. Always bring your own Life Jackets. Adirondack chairs on the dock are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails or just to enjoy the cool afternoon breezes. Be sure to bring your camera! Captain's Quarters looks directly out at Seal Rocks which at low tide is covered by sun-bathing seals. Osprey, eagles, loons, herons, cormorants, and seals are just some of the animals that frequent this diverse natural habitat. Swim, sunbathe or fish from the float. Two deep water moorings are also available, ask for details. Bring your own boat, or rent one. Boating in Maine requires that you read charts and be aware of the tide changes. In Maine, we have 9 foot tides. If you happen to be down at the dock and a lobsterman comes by to pull his traps, wave him in and you may be able to buy lobster right from the boat.

THE GROUNDS
The grounds cascade in tiers from above the house down to the water. Small vignettes of flowers, flowering bushes and seating arrangements create beautiful gathering spots as well as private reading areas. Humming birds, butterflies and dragonflies are here throughout the entire season, as are many nesting birds. A gas BBQ and cook-out area with picnic tables are great for outdoor grilling and provide the perfect venue for an old fashioned lobster bake. Croquet, horseshoes and badminton games are available. There is a swing set for small children!

THE PORCH
An enclosed porch wraps around three sides of the house with glass and screen windows letting in sunshine, sea breezes and amazing views! White wicker furniture with nautical-inspired cushions lead from one seating arrangement to the next. Dining tables, a foosball and Ping-Pong table along with games, puzzles, a reading library and DVD’s will provide hours of endless entertainment. In the evening, warm lighting and salty air lend a festive ambiance for music, games and storytelling and togethering.

"I would definitely go back to Captains Quarters!!!!"
I would totally go back again. The house is full of charm and very welcoming. It is fully equipped to house large families with double coffee makers, fridges and freezers and every spice you can think of. The screened in porch is fabulous to watch the gorgeous sunsets and not be bothered by the mosquitos. We were there in the heat of the summer and were never affected by the heat.

Bottom line is we had a great time and the house was perfect for our needs. It is not easy finding a place that would fit our family and still provide privacy and space for our activities. The entire process from start to finish was handled with professionalism. Our family loved the home and all that it is. Boothbay is a great spot for all ages. Our kids LOVED having boats available. We want to thank the owner for sharing their home with us. Bob and Mary
